WASHINGTON—The White House garden — first lady Michelle Obama’s signature project — is a weed-filled wreck, a victim of the partial federal government shutdown, hitting Day 14 on Monday.

As a result of neglect, “the vegetables filling the 1,500 square-foot plot are now rotting away on the vines and in the boxed beds,” reports Eddie Gehman Kohan, the founder and editor of Obamafoodorama, the publication of record when it comes to food and entertaining at the Obama White House.

“There are also mushrooms popping up inside and outside the garden beds, and leaf litter raining from the trees like confetti. The wildlife that lives on the historic 18-acre campus–including a newly arrived fox now making a home at the White House–are having a field day,”

The food in schools and juvenile detention centers and other places that get gov't sponsored or provided food for kids and teens have changed a lot due to her programs. Basically, they are trying to tackle the obesity problem, but in the process, regular kids are NOT getting enuf to eat any more. It's like they are all on a diet - stomachs rumbling.
